Lots of baking

It is the last few weeks of school, so I am wrapping up my food and nutrition class. We made manicotti yesterday, made bannock today, and will be making cupcakes and butter tart squares tomorrow.

The bannock turned out really well. For those not familiar with bannock it is a flat bread made by aboriginal people. It is pretty popular around here with the First Nations people.

It is really easy to make
2 cups Flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp baking powder
2 pinches of salt.
Enough water to create a dough.

Mix together and form into hand size patties. Take a pan with about 1/2 inch of oil in the bottom, heat and cook the bannock until golden brown and then flip. We another class I made bannock tacos ( they called them Indian Tacos) or with jam or just butter. My class did a great job in creating it today and it was quite yummy.

Tomorrow we are making cupcakes for the graduation and butter tart bars as well. I will post pictures of the finished product of the cupcakes as they will be made into mini graduation hat heads.
